Greenwich Village Literary Pub Crawl

From US$ 30.00

Overview

Discover the artistic side of Greenwich Village that made it so famous on this literary pub crawl. Follow your guide through ‘The Village’ and learn where the famous writers, poets, and playwrights lived and hung out. Learn the history of the neighborhood and stop along they way to delve deeper into the lives of some of the city’s most famous minds.

Begin your walking tour of the famous Greenwich Village with your literary tour guide. Step inside a number of local bars that are old haunts of famous writers, poets, and playwrights. Sip a beer while listening to informative commentary from your guide about the stories and legends that surround each place.

This area was home to a number of movements, civil and women’s rights activists, jazz and blues music, and a number of art scenes over the last 100 years. Visit establishments where literary giants lived, wrote, and partied and made ‘The Village’ the eclectic neighborhood that it is today.

A really fun tour. It covers some of the lesser known writers as well of some of the more famous ones and the guides were knowledgeable and engaging. Would definitely recommend it.
